Journey into Mystery #70
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA towering, sandy creature looms menacingly over two terrified humans — a man clutching a flashlight and a wide-eyed woman — while a broken robotic head lies scattered on the cave floor, all rendered with muscular energy by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers. This 1961 Marvel anthology issue promises "The Most Startling Adventure of All Time!" with its featured tale, "The Sandman Cometh!" The creative lineup behind the interior story — Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Paul Reinman, Stan Goldberg, and Artie Simek — makes this a genuinely compelling snapshot of early-'60s Marvel storytelling at its imaginative best.
